Throughout her artistic career, she has attended art courses and workshops with artists and instructors including Bijan Sayfouri, Hossein Maher, and Pooya Aryanpour. She has participated in numerous national and international exhibitions and events in the fields of design and illustration and has received several awards.

She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions focusing on video art and installation. Her first solo exhibition, Epidermis, was held in 2021 at Vali Art Gallery. Her second solo exhibition, Living Creature, was presented in 2024 at Soo Contemporary Art Gallery. In 2026, she presented her third solo exhibition, Survival, at 8cube Gallery in collaboration with Dastan Outside Projects.

Through video art, installation, and photography, Anita explores and presents her perspective on her personal experiences.

She believes that, although these experiences are deeply personal, they also carry a social dimension that allows viewers to connect with them and find a sense of identification. Every space in which she has lived—with all its wounds, traumas, and moments of joy and difficulty—possesses an external dimension that, despite its many differences, remains familiar to the viewer. It is within this space of familiarity that she finds the point of connection between herself and her audience.
